Small touch-ups and tweaks to the design followed right through until the 90s, but the world had changed enough for the car to finally reincarnate. In 1998, Volkswagen introduced the New Beetle, very similar to the one that we shall be seeing on our roads soon. Based on the same platform as the Volkswagen Golf Mk4, the new Beetle was an all-new car even though it borrowed heavily from its predecessor in terms of its looks, be it the sloping headlamps, the round tail lights or the curving roof - all of which came together to make the design a very smart and contemporary tribute.
